Lonely Soldier King

The Vampire Prince knew what was wrong, because he threw a punch at Liu Yi, who blocked it with his saber and then flew backwards, flying in the direction in which the Grand Duke was lying. The next time Liu Yi had a smile on his face, he would know why.    

The Vampire Prince even suspected that it was too long before he was born. His eyes were blinded by such a small scheme of his. After all, in the battle against Liu Yi, even though he had fallen to a lower tier, he had not been defeated yet.    

However, he was sent flying backwards with only one goal in mind, and that was to take the injured Grand Duke away.    

Liu Yi saw that he could not beat the prince, so he naturally wanted to leave early. The Grand Duke, on the other hand, had long since planned to leave.    

"Bye!"    

Liu Yi shouted with a mocking tone. Carrying the body of the Grand Duke, he cut through the darkness and flew towards the encampment of the Burning Heaven Mercenary Group.    

"You …"    

The Vampire Prince clenched his teeth in anger, but what could he do, uh, to put it more accurately, was that he was helpless and had not lost his mind. He did not catch up with Liu Yi, or else what awaited him would be fierce gunfire.    

A prince was naturally not afraid of gunfire, but the concentrated gunfire was enough to cause him to be unable to move an inch. Even after he had fallen into the gunfire, he had changed from active to passive, and as the gunfire continued, he was no longer able to enter or retreat. In the end, all he could do was die.    

The best example was the Late Mortal Emperor Stage experts from the Ancient Martial Alliance. They had been bombarded by the intense gunfire and were unable to advance or retreat. In the end, their true energy had been depleted and they were slaughtered.    

Although a grand duke was rare in the Vampire Clan, he couldn't compare to a prince. In addition to the fact that the prince had lived for countless years, he valued his own life even more. Therefore, as a Grand Duke, he was only slightly angry and was unable to catch up to Liu Yi.    

In the race of vampires, the system of levels was very strict, and it was also a symbol of strength. When one broke through to a higher level, the status they would receive would be immeasurable, and each level would have their own status.    

Especially at the Prince level, they were already at the peak of the Vampire Clan. Even if one called them National Treasures, they still wouldn't fall short of that. The status they enjoyed was naturally beyond compare.    

Over time, they had become extremely arrogant and arrogant, looking down on all other low level vampires.    

This was one of the reasons the Vampire Prince didn't try to save him.    

However, this Vampire Prince had greatly shocked Liu Yi.    

Liu Yi knew very well what kind of status the Vampire Prince had in the Vampire Clan, but now the Dark Council had actually sent out a prince level vampire to make him an enemy. From this, it could be seen how much the other party had invested.    

Thus, upon returning to the base, Liu Yi immediately gave the order to raise the defense level of the base to the highest level. It had the feeling of being strictly on guard against death.    

Liu Yi was very clear on the destructive power of a Vampire Prince. If a Vampire Prince were to enter the base, then it would be a devastating blow to the Burning Heaven Mercenaries.    

But then again, if a prince dared to enter the Burning Heaven Mercenary Group's encampment, Liu Yi would let them know what it meant by 'there's no door to hell'.    

Even though Liu Yi couldn't beat that Vampire Prince, if Liu Yi risked his life to fight, even a Vampire Prince wouldn't be able to gain any benefits. If Liu Yi used his strongest trump card, it would be enough to kill him.    

The increase in fighting strength that the Tyrant Blade brought to Liu Yi was not a joke. It could no longer be described as double of what it was before. Rather, it was several times, or even dozens of times.    

In the past, when Liu Yi was at the peak of the Earth Stage, he was able to clash head on with an early Emperor Stage powerhouse and even heavily injure them. From this, one could speculate that the peak of the Heaven Stage Liu Yi was able to fight against an early Saint Stage powerhouse.    

With the buff from the Tyrant Blade, he wouldn't be seriously injuring his opponent, but killing him!    

Ignoring everything else, Liu Yi threw all the distracting thoughts out of his head. He gathered all of the higher-ups of the Burning Heaven Mercenary Group and started to discuss how to deal with this situation.    

"The Vampire Prince?"    

Shadow screamed, his face blank. He was obviously frightened.    

"Yes, Vampire Prince. Although he's an early-stage prince, he isn't weak at all." Liu Yi sighed with a worried look on his face.    

"Then are you his opponent, Chief?" The Head of the Guards asked again.    

"If I fight him with all my strength, I won't be his match. If I use a desperate move, I'll be able to seriously injure or even kill him." Liu Yi answered.    

Others may not understand the strength of the Vampire Prince, but as the leader of the Shadow Head's information system, he knew how terrifying the Vampire Prince was. Thus, he asked this question.    

"Phew …"    

"" The shadow head let out a long breath, calmed down, and said again. " If that's the case, then we can set our worries at rest. As their number of experts this time is limited, there are not many who have reached the level of a prince. "    

Thinking about it, if there were many experts of the prince level here, how could they have chosen this method of ambush and sneak attack? Perhaps they would have long since invaded the encampment of the Burning Heaven Mercenaries and slaughtered all their members.    

How should he put it?    

First, they had used a Grand Duke to lure Liu Yi out, while the Prince hid to the side, waiting for Liu Yi to catch him off guard before making a move. There were two explanations for this, one was according to what the Head of the Guards had said, and the other was from them testing Liu Yi.    

As for Liu Yi's strength, up till now, no one had a thorough understanding of him. Hmm, perhaps in the past, they still knew a bit about him. After all, they had fought several times.    

However, this time, Liu Yi had killed two Intermediate Emperor Stage powerhouses and one Late Emperor Stage powerhouse. Although the three powerhouses were killed without using too much true energy, killing them was still killing them. There was no need to find an excuse.    

Unfathomable!    

This might be the result of the alliance. If they could get such an outcome and send out someone to test it out, it would be much easier to explain.    

"To reach the level of a prince, every single one of them is an ancient character. If they don't show up normally, that means they want to fight to the death with us." Liu Yi said indifferently.    

If the Burning Heaven Mercenary Group had more than one Emperor level secret guard, Liu Yi could rest easy, but the problem was that there weren't that many experts. He was the only one who could hold out against strong enemies, it would be a lie to say he wasn't worried.    

"Leader, actually you don't have to worry." "Yes." The shadow said with a relaxed smile. "The ancient martial arts alliance, the Radiant Church, and the Dark Council are all very interesting combinations."    

Why did he say that?    

The movie head's words were a bit confusing, including Liu Yi, but he couldn't guess what the movie head meant.    

"..."    

It wasn't that Liu Yi was stupid, it was just that at this moment, his mind was in a mess and he couldn't come up with a single clue, but very soon, he took two deep breaths, calmed himself down, and he knew what the head of the shadows was referring to.    

The theory was very simple. The Ancient Martial Alliance, the Radiant Church, and the Shadow Council. Although the three powers were allied together, they had given up their enemies for a thousand years. And the reason why they teamed up was only for one reason, and that was the Burning Heaven Mercenary Group. It was all for Liu Yi himself.    

It could be imagined that when three thousand year old enemies joined forces, although they all had the same goal, how could they all stand together? Even if they sent a strong expert this time, enough to destroy the Burning Heaven Mercenary Company, if there were internal conflicts, it would still be difficult to achieve big things.    

Otherwise, there would not be a time when the land, the people, and the people would speak this way. And very clearly, their three factions did have the advantage, but did not reach the time when the land, the people, and the climate were difficult to achieve.    

"Haha …"    

"Liu Yi said with a chuckle as he sorted out his thoughts." "Looks like I overthought things."    

"Haha …" "Hehe …" The movie head also laughed, but he still stressed a little and said. "Leader, but we still need to increase our strength. The key to self-defense is our own strength. Of course, if we become stronger in the future, we will have the advantage and we can attack directly."    

"Yes." "Yes." Liu Yi nodded. He understood this logic and said. This time, I caught a big duke, increasing the power of many people. Of course, if it's not enough, I also go hunting occasionally, but I hope that the number of vampires sent by the Dark Council will increase a little. "    

Among all races, only the blood essence of a vampire was useful. The blood essence of a werewolf was supposed to be the most useful, but a werewolf's bloodline was very violent and was not as peaceful as a vampire.    

However, these were not things that Liu Yi could use. Using blood essence to increase his strength had a conflict with the 'Tyrant Yang Tactic'. Even if Liu Yi was given a drop of blood essence, it wouldn't be of much use and could only be used by the secret guards.    

However, the Grand Duke's blood essence was extremely precious, so Liu Yi wouldn't casually give it to others to use. They had no chance of getting away with it, and if they wanted to use the Duke's blood essence, there was also a great danger, so they couldn't act rashly.    

Maybe the secret guard at the first rank of Diamond Protection could use it, but they had just consumed blood essence not long ago, so now was not the best time to use it. Helpless, Liu Yi could only take out the twenty drops of Marquis' blood essence and select another twenty people to level up.    

Storage?    

The best way to store it was to keep it in the body of the Grand Duke.    

First of all, Liu Yi used his zhenqi to seal the meridians in the Duke's body, so that he did not have any strength left in his entire body. He did not even have the ability to commit suicide, and then he would arrange for good people to eat and drink to support themselves.    

After doing all of this, Liu Yi spent another week recuperating in the base, mainly staring at the 20 secret guards who had been selected to consume the Marquis' blood. Only after they had safely survived the most dangerous moment did Liu Yi finally relax.    

Since there was nothing to worry about, Liu Yi's mind finally shifted to other things, such as him going out to hunt and so on.    

Since the Dark Council could send a prince level person to ambush them, why couldn't Liu Yi just go out of their base and see if there were any lower level vampires to capture a few and get some blood essence from their bodies?    

Needless to say, when Liu Yi arrived at a mercenary camp supported by the Dark Council, he found nine Dukes, twenty Marquis, fifty Viscount, and a Prince in one day of his Spiritual Sense.    

This was the supreme power sent by the Dark Council. Liu Yi didn't care about this power, but if the forces sent by the other two sides were on the same level as the Dark Council, then they couldn't be underestimated.    

"Sigh …"    

Liu Yi couldn't help but sigh. He knew that this power wasn't weak, but it was only a drop in the ocean. For the 12 other clans out of the 13 Tribes in the Dark Council, this number wasn't enough.    

Honestly speaking, Liu Yi's originally firm conviction had been slightly shaken. However, he quickly calmed himself down and adjusted his state of mind. He was not afraid of anyone as strong as he was.    

To put it bluntly, one had to face difficulties in order to create them. Only by going against hardships would one be able to reach the peak of martial arts.    

"Mm …" Let's capture him first. " Liu Yi withdrew his thoughts and began to plan. At the moment, it's better to cultivate the lowest echelons first... Viscount is the most suitable. "    

Becoming a secret guard from an elite group was a hurdle. Entering a secret guard was undoubtedly a matter of great potential. When they entered the secret guard, they only had training methods.    

But now, all those who enter the Secret Guards have been modified by the blood essence of the vampires, and the rest that haven't been modified are only the names of the elite groups. Un, to put it simply, they carry the name of the elite groups but have the strength of Secret Guards, just that they don't officially become Secret Guards.    

Nothing could be done about it, in this period of time, too many things had happened. Liu Yi had no time to care about the other matters, so he let the Head of the Guards choose a reserve team of over a hundred elite members and gave them cultivation techniques to cultivate.    

And there were seventy lucky ones. They had received the remaining fifty drops of viscount blood essence and the twenty drops of marquis blood essence that Liu Yi had just taken out, so they had officially joined the ranks of the Secret Guards. As a result, there were only nearly a hundred people left in the reserve team.    

Nearly a hundred people didn't seem like much, but the number was not small either. Liu Yi had to capture at least ten vampires in order to satisfy them.    

The strength of a Battle-King was equivalent to that of a Yellow Rank, and their greatest combat strength was at the middle Yellow Rank. Most of them were only at the early Yellow Rank.    

There was no other way. They did not have any cultivation methods, so they could not break through. This also limited their own conditions. If they were to consume the blood of the vampires and use the blood of the marquis, there would be many dangers. If they did not have abnormal physiques, there would only be two choices for them: one would become trash, and the other would die suddenly.    

The safest way was to let them consume the blood of the viscount. No matter what the situation was, they would not be in danger, and the more important thing was that the success rate was very high. If Liu Yi sent a few diamonds to help them, then it would be a 100% success rate.    

All these factors combined to make Liu Yi choose Viscount level vampires as his target.    

Looking at the situation of the base supported by the Dark Council, it was much easier to catch a viscount vampire.    

Attack!    

Liu Yi did not hesitate at all.
